Euro NCAP tests find the Volvo XC60 to be the safest

The Volvo XXC60 has won the best overall performance of 2017 in the Euro NCAP 2017 Best in Class Safety awards. The XC60 scored a near-perfect 98 per cent in the Adult Occupant category. In the off-road class, the XC60 showed a superior advantage with a score of 95 per cent which was 20 per cent higher than its nearest competitor.

Volvo is not a new name when it comes to safety. With previous models like the XC90 and the V40 having won awards at the Euro NCAP, the XC60's win is not surprising.

"The new XC60 is one of the safest Volvo cars ever made," said Malin Ekholm, Vice President, Volvo Cars Safety Centre. "It is fully loaded with new technology designed to assist drivers, to help protect vehicle occupants and other road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists, plus mitigate collision risks. We are proud that our ongoing commitment to innovating new safety features has been recognized with another Euro NCAP Best in Class award for Volvo Cars."

"Our vision is that by 2020 no one should be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car," said Malin Ekholm. "The achievements of the XC60 are examples of our commitment to developing the latest safety and support systems as we strive towards that vision."
